Announcing SHERLOCKED: The OFFICIAL Sherlock Convention
* 07 February 2014

Sherlock Series Three is over, and Series Four is waiting in the
future. But in the meantime, to tide us all over in the hiatus,
something exciting is coming later this year.

SHERLOCKED, the first ever official Sherlock
convention dedicated to our favourite BBC series, will take place
in 2014 over 3 days. The event will be run by Massive Events in
association with Hartswood Films and Showmasters Ltd - a
combination of the talents of specialist producers in dedicated fan
conventions and the hugely experienced team behind the renowned
London Film & Comic Con, and the Sherlock production team. In
addition, it is intended to take place in Europe and in the
USA.

With this level of behind the scenes experience, SHERLOCKED
already looks to be an unprecedented event for fans of the series
to attend. The convention has been in the planning since the middle
of 2013 ahead of this announcement, and will feature activities,
star guests from the cast and crew, talks, photo shoots, autograph
sessions and plenty more!

Sherlock's producer Sue Vertue exclusively told us: "We're
very excited to be announcing our first official Sherlock
convention for later in the year, aptly
named SHERLOCKED. Massive Events have been
pestering me for ages to get a date for this in the schedule but we
wanted to make sure that we had the time and energy to make it a
great, high quality and fun event, and now we have! Watch this
space."

Full details on SHERLOCKED will be revealed in the near future,
including dates, locations and venues, and of course the cast and
crew that will be attending the convention.

To be among the first to know all that information when it is
revealed, head to Massive Events website right now and register
your details. You can also follow the Facebook page and Twitter account for the event, and
Sherlockology will be bringing you all the news on this exciting
event as it is announced.

About Ready to be #Sherlocked?

Sherlockology has known about the work to get an official
convention off the ground for a long time. We first spoke with
Massive Events back in 2012 when many fans were asking us to
organise a convention for Sherlock, following the release of Series
Two. We are not event organisers and prefer to leave that sort of
thing to the people who are experts in the field - we felt that if
a Sherlock convention was to go ahead, it had to be the best it
could be. The one thing we were absolutely certain about was that
it had to be official, with the makers of the series involved, so
we introduced Massive Events to Hartswood Films and since the
middle of 2013 both companies have been working their magic
together to bring SHERLOCKED into existence.

We were excited to spend the past week running a teaser campaign
across our social media platforms leading to this long awaited
announcement. In keeping with the name of the convention, the
teasers took inspiration from the famous unlock screen of Irene
Adler's phone in S2E1 A Scandal in Belgravia, with quotes taken
from that episode featuring blocked out letters in the style of her
password. When each pair of these letters was rearranged come the
final day of the teaser campaign, it spelt out CONVENTION. Some
extremely clever people worked it out two days ago on Wednesday -
if that was you, a truly hearty round of applause.
